Description
CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (Stored XSS) vulnerability exists in the backend user management functionality. The application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input before rendering it in the administrative interface, allowing attackers to inject persistent JavaScript code. This results in automatic execution whenever backend users access the affected page, enabling session hijacking, privilege escalation, and full administrative account compromise. This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.
Analysis
Stored cross-site scripting in CI4MS backend user management allows authenticated attackers with low-level privileges to inject malicious JavaScript that executes automatically when administrators access affected pages, enabling session hijacking and full administrative account takeover. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 0.31.0.0 with a critical CVSS score of 9.9 due to scope change and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. …
